What's left behind the scenes
- In the late 1970s, Brian De Palma wrote a screenplay based on Gerald Walker's article 'Cruising,' but he was unable to secure the rights to adapt the material. The story of a series of brutal murders among homosexuals in criminal New York was later adapted for the screen and directed by William Friedkin, while De Palma incorporated only some elements from his script version into 'Dressed to Kill.' Both films were released in 1980 and provoked a controversial public reaction (after numerous disputes with the MPAA committee to avoid an X rating).
- In his youth, at his mother's request, Brian De Palma spied on his father and used a recording device to catch him with another woman. This life experience inspired the director to make the film.
- In the opening scene, where Angie Dickinson's character is showering, a body double was used. When the film was first released, producers persuaded the 48-year-old Dickinson to maintain the rumor that the body was her own. However, it soon became clear that the body in the frame belonged to Victoria Johnson (although it was originally planned to be the director's wife – Nancy Allen).
- The conversation between Liz and Peter, near the end of the film, about gender reassignment surgery was filmed at the 'Windows on the World' restaurant in the World Trade Center in New York.
- Brian De Palma specifically wrote the role of Liz Blake for his then-wife, Nancy Allen.
- Angie Dickinson said that during the scene where her character is seduced in a New York taxi, several onlookers watching the filming shouted, "Keep it up, Police Woman!" (a reference to her most famous TV role).
- The museum exteriors were filmed in New York, while the interiors were shot at the Philadelphia Museum of Art (the museum's "griffin" emblem can even be spotted in a number of shots). The painting depicting a large gorilla being observed by Angie Dickinson now hangs in the office of this museum's wholesale and retail sales manager.
- Sean Connery was offered the role of Robert Elliott, and initially agreed enthusiastically, but ultimately had to decline due to commitments to other projects and a lack of time.
- Brian De Palma initially wanted Liv Ullmann to play Kate Miller, but she turned down the offer.
- Michael Caine's doctor's office is located at 162 East 70th Street in the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
